HP 49G Screen Cover
#1

I understand HP changed the screen cover to a more scratch resistant version on later models of the HP 49G. Is there any physical characteristics that would distinguish the updated version?

#2

Not from any quick look, but the older lens had a very noticable rainbow effect and would be an ID93### or older. The newer lens cover is definitely available on the ID94###.
Different Faceplate texture and a slight dimple above the Hp logo also indicate a newer Hp49G also (but if you do not have both, you probably do not or cannot determine this).

#3

Thanks for the information on the screen cover. I have a HP 49G with serial number CN148***** and I don't see the rainbow effect so I assume that the screen cover is the newer type.
